So i assume that there will be another hiring in september....hope this helps..good luck. P.s i asked how many positions they had available and all i got for an answer was "alot"

After your oral board before you leave the station if they give you a background packet your pretty much "in" seeing that nothing major comes up. If you don't get a back ground packet then good chance that was your last visit to the Nashua Police. That is what I have seen and from others who have tested there.
